The reason that I never really considered going to art school to study graphic design was that I figured it would take all the fun out of my hobby.
And boy was I right.
I've been working on various print material for my club's show - tickets, flyers, posters - in addition to doing the design work on the website. The main poster was a headache and a half, but I really liked the end result. I've started work on the programs and the fun has all left the building. I'm learning a new program - Adobe InDesign, since PageMaker is no more - and experiencing the joys of attempting to make something look good when printed. There is no joy in Mudville, let me tell you.
Right now I'm trying to figure out what type of border to use on the cover. It's clear that a border is necessary, but what that one border will be is beyond me. I'm now experimenting with kapa and really hoping that it works.
What a freaking headache.
